SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 589,585, dated September 7, 1897.

Application filed May 12, 1897. Serial NQJB SGJSG. (N0 model) iug bar from the stand in which it slides, and

to do this, as temples are now commonly made, the stand must be removed from the breast beam. for the first time hinged or pivoted one part of the stand on another part thereof, so that by turning up and over one part the shank and its spring may be exposed to be readily removed.

Figure 1 represents a temple embodying my invention, but closed in working position.

Fig. 2 shows the cap of the stand opened, and Fig. 8 by full lines shows the stand-cap open.

' The teinple-head A, it containing a toothed roller, (not shown,) and the shank 13, having a shoulder 12 and surrounded by a spiral spring '1), are and may be all as usual.

The stand is composed of a bottom plate (Z, to which is pivoted or hinged in suitable or any usual manner, as by pins d, a cap (Z the latter being so shaped as to overlap the spring I) and leave along one edge of the cap a foot cl", which is slotted for a partof its length at (1*, the said slot being shown as wider than the slot 6 in the bottom. plate (I.

In one end of the slot 8 I have secured by a nut e a stud e it substantially filling the slot at, and in the upper end of this stud I have mounted a turnbutton 6 I using, as

To obviate this, I have, as I believe,

shown, for such purpose a stud screw 6 IVhen this turn-b utton is in the position Fig. l, the cap will be held closed, but when the turn-button occupies the position shown in Fig. 2 the cap may be raised and the bar and its spring may be removed.

The stand may be confined to the usual breast-beam by a boltinserted through the slot c.

This invention is not limited to the particular shape of the turn-button or fastening device shown and described for locking, the cap inits closed condition, and instead of it I may use any other suitable equivalent fastening device, for it will be obvious that the fastening" device might be variously modified by only the skill of the mechanic and without invention and yet have a device within the scope of my invention.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is

1. A temple-head, and its bar, combined with a stand composed of two parts, one of which is hinged on or with relation to the other part, and a fastening device to retain the said two parts locked together, substantially as described.

2. A loom-temple stand composed of a slotted bottom piece, and a hinged top cap, also slotted, combined with a fastening device cooperating with the slotted part of the cap to hold it closed or permit it to be opened, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

THOMAS SYKES.
